Chapter 13: Gotham's Most Dedicated Reporter
Coming out of the basement, Su Ming replenished some ammunition from the man in black, after all, it is not always possible to solve the problem with a knife and a stick.
Then, he returned to the police hall, where Cindy was waiting for him.
She seemed to be looking at the dark sky outside the door in a daze, letting the rain flow freely on her body and gradually flow indoors.
"Thinking about the end of the world?"
Su Ming walked to her side and looked out quietly, the sky was full of black clouds, and he couldn't see anything except the bat-shaped spot of light.
Cindy was probably looking at that as well, as her monocular eyepiece also reflected the shape of a bat.
"Well, why do you think our world is the way it is?"
"I don't know, but although I don't want to die, I don't have a sense of fear in my heart, and I'm very calm."
Cindy shook her head, nodded again, not knowing what she was thinking, she walked under the eaves and reached out to catch a handful of rainwater, but the water quickly slipped through her fingers.
"After being transformed by the military, we have all lost our sense of fear and reverence for life, shouldn't weapons be like this?"
Su Ming's soul comes from the real world and is not a person who has undergone transformation, but he probably knows what the situation is from the comics.
The problem with Knell is that his brain is nine times more capable of thinking than ordinary people, which makes his rational thinking overpower, and it is not some disease or sequelae.
"Yes, but we're not perfect weapons, because the military still has our feelings."
"Hehe, you're right, so they lost us."
Cindy seems to be laughing at the military, but also laughing at herself, even if she leaves the army, but some things are changed forever.
She was used to being used to being used as a weapon, and she thought of herself as a weapon.
At this time, Barbara rocked her wheelchair out of the corridor by herself, and was stuck under the stairs in the basement, not knowing how to get up, and saw two people there, but she didn't dare to speak.
Cindy walked over and easily lifted the man up with his wheelchair.
Wrapped in a raincoat and holding her computer in her arms, Barbara was a little nervous and a little apprehensive, worried about Director Gordon's situation and a little confused about the purpose of the Death Knells.
But the atmosphere was relatively peaceful at the moment, if she didn't look at the bloody and miserable things around her, so she closed her eyes.......
Su Ming thought that it would be an easy thing to find a car, but when they walked to the parking lot in the wind and rain, they found that not only the van driven by the men in black, but also the several police cars that were originally parked here, had all exploded, leaving only the frame of the vehicle made of steel, all kinds of charred wreckage, and there was not even a little smoke in the heavy rain.
The men in black had no backup, and the car wasn't a remote-controlled bomb, and the only explanation was that Cindy blew them up.
Seeing Su Ming looking at her, Cindy shrugged her shoulders and said that she did it, because there were no professional instruments and equipment, she could only guess that the signal jammer was on a certain car.
At that time, she didn't think about taking Barbara with her, no matter where she went, she and Su Ming only needed to have a wheelbarrow, so she blew up the fuel tanks of these vans, and the explosion detonated the surrounding police cars, and finally it became like this.
As it turned out, the signal was indeed restored.
Su Ming walked to the side of a police car that looked slightly better, and just put his hand on the door, as a result, the four tires of the car flew out, and a puff of smoke came out of the hood.
"There isn't a good car in this place, do you have any other garages at the police station?"
He washed the black ash off his hands with rain and asked Barbara, who could only shout and answer with all her might:
"Underground garage! But...... The door is going to explode! ”
However, just as he was about to go to the entrance to the underground garage, things took a turn for the worse, and suddenly a very 'beautiful' van sped up from the street, and a drift stopped in front of the police station.
It was white overall, but it looked like it had driven a short distance in the rain, and even the carriage was full of mud and water splashes, like a big flower face, and there was a pot-like lid like a radar on the roof.
However, I could barely make out a line of yellow letters on the carriage, which read GCTV1, Gotham City TV news channel.
"I suddenly had an idea." Su Ming held his helmet with his hand, as if he was touching his beard.
..................
A few minutes ago, in the driving car, a young and beautiful female reporter was arranging her blond hair, she swayed from side to side with the car, and at the same time took out a small mirror and quickly touched up her face, but the dim lights in the car and the poor condition of the road made her almost poke her lipstick into her eyes.
"Oh! Slow down, Pete, I don't want to die today, I have a date tomorrow. ”
A man's voice came from the cab, answering her loudly to the sound of the torrential rain constantly lapping on the glass.
"You were the one who asked me to hurry up and grab the news just now, and now it's you who let me slow down and make it easier for someone to put on makeup, I'm your photographer, not your driver and boyfriend!"
"Well, it's all the same, have we arrived?"
The pretty woman pouted in the mirror and tried a different smile, coping with it insincerely.
Photographer Pete, who seems to have gotten used to this, knows what kind of virtue his partner is, and calls himself out of his house in the middle of the storm, and the two steal the TV station's car, saying that an informant told her big news.
Looking at the pitch-black environment outside, Pete really doubted the authenticity of the news, if the TV station leaders found out that they stole a car in the middle of the night to pursue an urban legend, it is estimated that this job will not be saved.
But his partner, who has always been a woman who doesn't want to die for the news, doesn't seem to have to sleep, and whenever she sees her, she is either reporting the news or on the way to pursue the news.
The TV station is only strong enough for him to carry the camera to keep up with this woman's pace, but there is almost no time to rest from work every day, because she may be deceived by her rhetoric or pity at any time, looking for clues during the break.
"It will take a few minutes, but the road is full of water, and the car can stop at any moment."
The female reporter moved her jaw as if to warm up her facial muscles.
"Then don't let it go out."
"What do you think I was doing before?!"
Pete used to think that he was a very docile man, although in this world, men who grow to more than 1.9 meters are obviously not liked by women.
But after following his current partner, he deeply realized that his original temper was not as good as he imagined, and he gradually got used to yelling, like a splash.
After calming down, he asked her again, "Vico, is your tip reliable?" ”
The female reporter confidently replied: "Of course, do you remember the beggar without eyes we interviewed before?" ”
"Well, remember, the guy called the police and said he saw a fast-food restaurant cutting human flesh in the back kitchen." Pete hit the steering wheel and dodged the manhole cover on the ground like a dark spring: "Since he is blind, the director put our social news interviews into entertainment and comedy programs, and I probably didn't see anyone for a week." ”
But it turns out that the blind man was right! The shop was eventually discovered by Batgirl making human sausages, even though it wasn't a fast food restaurant, but a laundry room, and it didn't have a back kitchen, just a garage. ”
Vico got into the cab from the back compartment and stressed to Pete very seriously that his news was accurate, but the leader didn't know the goods!
Pete looked at her out of the corner of his eye, and said helplessly: "Otherwise, why do you think I still have the face to work in a TV station?" But that incident hit the studio director in the face, and she will definitely hold on to the car theft this time. ”
"She can hold on to it, but only if we don't find the news!" Vico raised a slender finger and shook it from side to side, correcting him by saying, "As long as we catch this scoop, bam!" I'll let her know that my mother is not easy to mess with! ”
Pete rolled his eyes, the whole TV station had long known that she was not easy to mess with, and she was a notoriously crazy woman. If it weren't for the fact that Vico had gotten a lot of scoops, the two of them would have been out of the way by now.
Seeing his expression, Vico patted him on the shoulder with a grin: "Don't worry, have you heard that some blind people actually have special abilities?" Legend has it that they have a very good sense of the soul, and can see through or predict the future. I developed that blind man into my informant last time, and today, he gave me a big piece of news, and I spent 200 dollars. ”
"Well, now our intelligence source is seen by a blind man, because you believe in ethereal supernatural legends."
Pete wondered if the TV station would give the two of them a light sentence if he returned the car now.
Vico shook his head and smirked, "This time it's not what he saw, it's what he heard." On a stormy night, he slipped into the city courthouse to hide from the rain, but not long ago, he heard a dense burst of gunfire from the Gotham police station, which, according to him, was as dense as the sound of a rabbit sparse. ”
Pete has a black question mark on his face, what kind of metaphor is this? Do rabbits have diarrhea?
Vico also rolled his eyes and said with an embarrassed smile: "In short, the blind man's hearing is better than ordinary people, this is based on science, then we have reason to believe that something big has happened in the police station, in such a storm, isn't this our scoop?"
As soon as Pete heard it, it made sense, as long as he grabbed the exclusive news for the TV station, then his previous car theft behavior would become the reporter's eager pursuit of news, there was nothing wrong with it, and there would be a bonus!
So the two looked at each other and smiled, like two foxes running to the chicken pen, full of anticipation for a better future.
......................
The car arrived at the door of the police station, and needless to say, they all saw the wreckage of the car and the corpses scattered all over the place, and Vico knew that his 200 yuan was worth.
It's not big news, what else?
She and Pete quickly put on the poncho, wrapped the camera and microphone, and prepared for the record. The rain was so heavy that Vico had to shout loudly so that it wouldn't interfere with the camera's reception.
The female reporter straightened her makeup again, turning her hair into a cute bangs under her raincoat, and she looked at Pete, who nodded to indicate that the radio and video were working properly.
She jumped out of the car, Pete followed, and she chose an angle to use the wreckage of a black-framed car as a backdrop, and not far away you could see the door of the police station being broken down, and many of the officers falling to the ground like sacks.
Vico gestured to begin, and when she saw the familiar red light on the camera, she immediately revealed herself to be at her most intellectual.
"Audience friends, I'm your old friend Vico Wali, and now, we're outside the Gotham City Police Department, and you can see what's going on behind us."
Pete had been working with her for a long time, and immediately gave a long shot of the ruins and corpses behind her.
"We don't know exactly what's going on inside the police station yet, but please follow our camera to find out, and remember, this is exclusively reported by Vico."
As she spoke, she playfully raised her finger and pointed to the camera, revealing a cute smile, as if she was joking with an acquaintance, her style made many people in the city like to watch her news.
She took Pete to the police station, constantly showing various expressions in front of the camera along the way.
"Oh my God, this is purgatory on earth!" It was horrified, she was like a little girl who found a man-eating monster under the bed.
"Who are these men in black?" This is doubt, and she is acting like a detective at the moment, looking shrewd and capable of trying to find clues.
"These officers fought until the last moment, may they rest in peace, and I hope that their families will accept my sincere condolences and condolences." It was grief, she was even more professional than the spokesperson of the city council, and she bowed to the cold body on the ground.
All in all, she showed Oscar-level acting skills, which is enough to make her laugh among news anchors.
She entered the hall of the police station, and the situation here could be said to be even more tragic, if there was still rain outside to wash away the blood, then this place was a complete world of blood.
Both civilians and police officers were on the floor of the hall, reminiscent of the scene of a massacre.
"Oh my God, Vicco is feeling very scared now, I don't know if the murderers have left, but as a journalist, I decided to find out the truth! Please remember me and look forward to my follow-up report, I'm Vikovali. ”
She behaves appropriately, fully embodying the image of a journalist who seeks the truth even in the face of danger, with a look of determination in her fear, as if she was driven by a great mission.
But she doesn't actually feel dangerous, the scene here looks like a gang and a police exchange, they are not psychopathic murderers, and they will not stay at the scene of the crime.
She just wants to earn herself a wave of attention, and with popularity, even if she doesn't work in Gotham in the future, she can get mixed up when she goes to the Met.
At this time, she saw that Pete's face also showed a frightened expression, as if he was imitating her, but this tall man was not suitable for this kind of appearance at all.
"Kakaka." Wei Ke put down the microphone and said helplessly: "I know you also want to be a news anchor, but your physical condition....... Almost, not everyone can eat this bowl of rice. ”
Pete's mouth opened wide, this time looking a little more frightened.
"Alas, I really can't help you, why are you so open? It's too pompous. Vico shook his head amusedly, and expressed his disdain for Pete's performance: "The male anchor is much more competitive than our female anchor, but who calls us partners, let me teach you, look at my face, slowly squeeze my eyebrows, and then open my mouth slightly." ”
Vico was kind enough to do the slow motion of his expression, the news recording is almost here, and he will go back to the car and edit the video later, and then send it back to the station and on TV.
This time, the slut in the studio must have nothing to say, so Vico is in a good mood now, and plans to support his partner, after all, the TV station is also a place to talk about connections, and if the relationship with his partner is not good, the future is worrying.
Pete seemed to hear Vico's correction, but instead of doing what Vico said, he was playing freely, carrying the camera on one shoulder, wiping his eyes with the other, and then covering his face and screaming.
